In re Shirley Tousignant

Case Conclusion Date: 10.18.2012

Practice Area: Guardianship

Outcome: Debra G. Simms, on behalf of the son, Ricky Triplett

Description: This was a highly contested guardianship case between the estranged husband and the son over who should serve as the guardian of the mother/wife. The Ward filed for divorce just prior to the incapacity hearing and the husband, who would normally have the preference to serve as the guardian, wanted the son out of the case so he wouldn't be invovlved in the divorce. The case was hotly contested and acrimonious.
